The piece is a stencil painting made from a vector from the show. It is acrylic spray paint on 12x12 canvas.

All told, it took about 2 or 3 hours to make.

The photo isn't the best quality because I took it at night with a crappy camera so I could show the person who commissioned the piece the final result. I post my work to DA so that other people can enjoy the work that I do.

I understand that some people don't like MLP, and that is totally fine. I am also more than open to critique of my work. Complaining that a piece of art has a subject matter which you don't like is very childish. I am not making this for anyone but the commissioner and for myself as a project to spend an afternoon relaxing.

Before 10/8, I had heard the term Daily Deviation just once or twice. I had no idea how they were picked or anything. I am glad that I was picked because more people can see my art, which is always cool to me. I am disappointed that so many people are dropping negative comments here because it is not up to some standard they expect in a daily or because of the content.

I do want to thank everyone who has taken the time to look through my gallery and favorite some of my work. Painting is just a hobby for me that I got swept up in. Seeing other people like my work is always cool.

I have to ask, were the specks in her mane painted on separately, or were they also sprayed?

Very lovely stencil work here. I've never really been a fan of doing stencils, so I don't think I could have gotten lines anywhere near this smooth without practice, haha.I wish the gradient were a tad smoother, but I can't really complain, given the medium.

While I am not a huge pony fan, I think this is a lovely piece of fan art. I think it is wonderful that you gave proper credit where it was due; not many DA users do that. I think the quality of your work is very good. I know its not easy to get such a clean painting, even with good stencils. Kudos to you!

And for everyone who is so incredibly offended by ponies, really? Watch the newest deviation pages for a bit and see if you can honestly say that My Little Pony is much more offensive than the random "artistic" nudity and crude drawings put up as "sexy" fan art. Be a decent human being and have some respect. This hatred is unnecessary.

I really like this... I mean not the ponies but the rest of it. I can't really say that much..

I mean, the way you mastered the gradient is simply amazing! and as I commented before, I wasn't bashing ponies; I'm just a bit aggrivated that they keep flooding the home page >.> But over all this is pretty awesome.

Did you use a metallic paint for the hair uh.. blue thing..? Haha I'm not too familiar with ponies so... I guess in pony terms that's the mane?

Pyrobob can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe none of the paint used for this was metallic. Different spray paints are more or less glossy, and they can photograph with a reflective sheen under certain light conditions. Example: [link]

As someone who makes vectors, It's pretty cool to see one get transferred to such a different like this. I used a stencil to spray-paint a vector once, and it was kind of a mess. Yours has really clean lines, and looks pretty cool.

Your responses to some of the replies here is pretty awesome. I'm always fascinated by the reactions from people who disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature, and how quickly they are willing to rant to the artist about it as opposed to the CV. Anyway, kudos for taking the mature high road!
